FLEXIBILITY

Before stretching, take a few minutes to warm-up as stretching a cold
muscle can cause injury. When stretching you should start slowly,
exhaling as you gently stretch the muscle. Try to hold each stretch for at
least 15 to 30 seconds. Don't bounce when you stretch. Holding a stretch
is more effective and less of a risk for injury. Don't strain or push a muscle
too far. If a stretch hurts, ease up.
SEATED TOE TOUCH
Sit on the floor with your legs
together and straight out in front of
you. Do not lock your knees.
Extend your fingers toward your
toes exhaling as you go. Hold the
stretch for 15 to 30 seconds.
Return to the start position and
repeat the stretch as necessary.
STANDING QUADRICEPS STRETCH
Using a wall or your Elliptical
Trainer to provide balance, grasp
your left ankle with your left hand
and hold to stretch. Your knee
should be pointing to the floor.
Hold the stretch for 15 to 30
seconds. Repeat with your right
51
leg and continue to alternate for
amount of desired repetitions.
